Following yesterday's trailer release, Rockstar Games officially announces Grand Theft Auto V. They offer an assortment of GTAV logo desktops, backgrounds, avatars, and icons, and the following word on the open-world action sequel:

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.

A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California.

Give us a crooked cop. Someone with the potential for good and bad actions. Playing an eastern euro gangsta cliche with all the cliched quirky sidekicks and sleazebags is too Michael Bay. Give us William Friedkin instead. To Live and Die in L.A. not Bad Boys.
